Description eric 2004-02-11 04:39:33 UTC 
By default, the ebuild is configured to NOT do forms support, but I believe this can be added easily enough by editing Curses.c and inserting this line 

  #include "/usr/include/form.h"

AFTER this line

  #include "<c-config.h>"

Then, the ebuild should be modified by changing

  myconf="${myconf} PANELS MENUS GEN"

to

  myconf="${myconf} PANELS MENUS FORMS GEN"

Reproducible: Always

I can attempt to create a new ebuild file if you can point me to instructions on
how to do so.

I cannot get forms working at all - compilation errors. Even when I tweak the ncurses ebuild to not delete the form.h from /usr/include - no go. Can you still get this working?

No response, no effort, no bug.
